摘要:The development of the non‐governmental organizations in Kazakhstan has increased dramatically since the mid‐1990s. One of the aspects of this development is a relationship between NGOs and the business sector. This issue becomes very important in the context of CSR. The purpose of the paper is to present a picture of existing relations between NGOs and business organizations in Kazakhstan from the perspective of NGOs. This relationship has recently started to attract the attention of researchers and practitioners. There is little research on this issue in Kazakhstan. The paper gives an overview of the NGO sector in Kazakhstan. The article presents relationship between NGOs and business organizations, forms, peculiarities of collaboration. NGOs in Kazakhstan experience an early stage of developing collaboration with business sector. There is a need to move from short‐term activities to strategy of the development. The obstacles to this development can be found in legal regulations, absence of a long‐term vision. It was found that there is a gradual shift towards a collaboration between NGOs and private sector. However, it is too early to evaluate the effect of this shift on sustainable development.
